Overview
For those who do not need to have the Comments feature in WordPress (there are a lot of reasons), this plugin removes any trace of that existence in both wp-admin and front-end.
Your theme must rely properly on the WordPress API for the front-end support. The tag must be present.
Completely done through techniques based on both action hooks and CSS.
Doesn’t requires any configuration, just install and any trace of Comments will disappear.
NOTE: This does NOT play with the core, so you are able to update both plugins and WordPress without any trouble.
Provided Custom Hooks
This plugin provides 4 custom hooks you may play if you need more substance in your theme.
add_action( 'hide_comments_post_types', 'my_hide_comments_post_types' ); to change the list of post types to be processed…Screenshots
